Martha Wainwright - So Many Friends Lyrics

And the children's eyes they turn
As I walk away
I am becoming their prey

And the firelight, it burns in your eyes
There are times you despise me
Oh, you criticize me

I have lost so many friends
I have gained so many memories

I can change the colors of the night
The hum and the drum, they sound the same
When you're tapping the same vein

And I have noticed lately that the time that you took
To look at my face has gone without a trace
Oh, you despise me

I have lost so many friends
I have gained so many memories
I have lost so many friends
I have gained so many, so many enemies

Over the years things disappear
But once in a while you call my name, oh yeah
In you, you've got the loving touch
I live and breathe for the rush
Oh, when we touch, oh, there's a rush
When we touch

I have lost so many friends
I have gained so many memories
I have lost so many friends
I have gained so many, so many
So many, so many enemies
